Chapter 3

Tygra brought Hamoltel's body to cat's lair. He wrapped her in a blanket and placed her on the table in the landing bay. He went to find Tearna and found her in the control room talking with Lion-o. She ran up to him and slapped him." How dare you leave me with out saying a word. You could have told me what was going on," she cried in his arms. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just couldn't leave Hamoltel out there." I looked throughout that blasted forest but I couldn't find Leona. She could be anywhere hopefully she's safe."

Leona woke to find herself chained. A young warrior maiden helped her up. She was shocked by how thin and pale she was. She looked to be only 15 or so with dirty blonde hair. She smelled very bad and Leona tried not to get too close. "Thank you, where am I, why am I chained? She tried to pull off the manicles. The girl just looked at her and fronded. "We've all tried to get those things off, nothing works. I'm Damira by the way. I've been here for almost a year now. Those lunatacs are evil creatures making us dig for thundrillium. "

Alluro walked by them carrying a large club and a whip. "The men will dig in the far chamber." He looked at her. "You women clear out the rocks." As he walked away Damira stuck her tongue out at him, making sure he didn't see.

"Alluro is not as bad as the others. He doesn't really care how much gets done." She pointed to the high rock edge where Alluro was. "He usually goes up there to drink or sleep." An older woman walked by them. "Come on ladies, if we don't dig our quota we might get stuck with Chilla." After a closer look she was shocked to see she was the same age as Leona. Her skin was cracked and bruised. Her hair was starting to come out in patches and her face twisted. "That's Kajorn, she's the one person here you don't want to mess with. She's right though, last time we didn't make the quota Chilla and TugMug broke our backs for two weeks."

They worked hard till dusk when two large barrels where brought to the mine. The entire slave population swarmed at the barrels breaking them open and eating the rotten food inside. Leona didn't understand and by the time she saw what they were doing all the food was gone. Damira sat next to her with a handful of berbilberries. "Here, this was all I could get for you." Leona ate the berries with great ferocity. "You need to be very aggressive when getting food. They don't bring much. You can sleep with me tonight. You seem warm enough with your fur." Leona looked at her puzzled. "What do you mean by that?" Damira smiled showing her rotten teeth. "They don't give us any blankets and the wind has a good bite to it. We need to sleep close together to keep warm." They all curled up together in a small corner.
